My Philips TV fails to respond to the remote control

Check whether you can use the buttons on the your TV

The remote control might be low in battery power. Replace if necessary

Clean the sensor lens on the TV and the remote control with a soft sloth

Operating range between TV and the remote control should not be more than approximately twenty feet

Check if the remote control is in the correct mode, TV or DVD. (For LCD TV with built-in DVD player only)

Make sure that the remote control is not in the sunlight

Static electricity build up may cause this. Unplug your TV for a minute and try remote again
